Picture Perfect Apartment-Home for Resident Joe SoucarJoe Soucar moved into an assisted living apartment at Village at ProprietorsGreen so he could be closer to his four adult children. While leaving hisBraintree home of 58 years wasn’t an easy decision for the widower; it was theright one. A self-described tinkerer, Joe has an eye for what works, and he likedwhat he saw at the senior living community, says the Rhode Island native. “Here,there is always something to do,” says Joe, who enjoys meeting other residentsfor social gatherings, bingo, poker games, and entertainment events. Thewalking paths around the community are another favorite pastime, as is readingthe Boston Globe, National Geographic, and Popular Mechanics.
At Boston’s ABC affiliate, WCVB-Channel 5 Joe was a cameraman for both theBoston Red Sox and the beloved once-married news anchor team of NatalieJacobson and the late Chet Curtis. Joe is also a veteran, having served with the U.S. Army in the Korean War.
Joe says he likes having his own private apartment, but when he headsdownstairs to the community’s common areas, he also likes that “there arepeople all over the place!”
